Bella Hadid Is Treating The Weeknd Mean To Keep Him Keen

Old school.

It’s Groundhog Day in the ‘Hollywood Millennials’ camp, it seems. After The Weeknd and Selena Gomez’s surprising split after 10 months of dating, both parties have seemingly returned to their former flames.

Gomez kicked things off by reuniting with her ex Justin Bieber, who she has been seen kissing, going to church with and watching play hockey (it must be true love! Kidding. Not really), and then The Weeknd raised eyebrows when we was spotted leaving his ex, Bella Hadid’s, New York apartment on Wednesday.

But while the Bieber-Gomez end of the Musical Chairs for Famous Young Lovers game might be on the serious side, it looks like Hadid and The Weeknd aren’t quite on par.

According to E!, Hadid is following the old ‘treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen’ philosophy by hanging out with the rapper but not committing to anything.

"Bella and Abel have been in contact since Abel and Selena split, but they are not back together," a source told the publication. "Abel reached out to Bella asking to hang out and catch up, and she decided to see him and see where things go. She knows that if they don't date again, they can at least be good friends."

"He has expressed to her that he loves her still, and they will always have a real connection," the report read. "He also apologised for hurting her in the past."

But Hadid is still cautious: "She still loves him but has her guard up. She never really got over him."

"She is not looking to be exclusive with him now, just to be his friend. His schedule won't allow him to stay focused on her—she knows this from past experience. She also knows he is talking to a few girls still. She reads what is put out in the news and that affects her."

As for a future relationship, Hadid is not exactly jumping in the deep end right now: "She still loves him, but she is keeping her options open."
